This app, despite all of the hype, transformed into a flop.
I have been a big fan of the Rovio games, and enjoyed the Star Wars subset tremendously. The most recent venture into the side scrolling Transformers, makes me a bit confused and annoyed. The game is entirely different, and is now a “Click to win” game rather than involving any skill or strategy.
Transformers has you run across the field (from left to right) and fire on the Decepti-pigs. You get points for killing them and having blocks fall and kill them. When you win you progress through the standard “Angry Birds” 3 star campaign system unlocking more perks along the way.
In my book, Angry Birds Transformers is a disappointment, and a game that I will promptly remove from my iPad.

Summary
Overall, I can see how this game would have some appeal to fans of side scrolling shooters. I unfortunately am not one of those, and I was looking forward to slinging more birds. This game was a disappointment mostly because it is a large break from the tried and true games I am used to. The game itself would be fine, if I was not disappointed by the overall mechanic. One day, I may re-install it and see if I can accept it as a side scrolling shooter. Nice shot Rovio, but you missed the mark.
